asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the total quantity of seed potatoes produced in Scotland this season; and how this compares with the average over the last 10 years.

Mr. Woodburn

It is estimated that some 691,000 tons of potatoes of the 1947 Scottish crop could be used as seed for planting in 1948. It is also estimated that the average quantity of Scottish potatoes used as seed over the last 10 years was 605,000 tons.
